However, bout agreements are not signed, and the UFC hasn’t yet even officially announced the Dec. 10 event.

But, as we recently reported, multiple sources have told MMAjunkie.com that the event is in the works, though Spike TV declined to comment on the matter. However, much like the organization’s first military event (UFC Fight Night 7 at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in December 2006), the UFC is expected to book many of its fighters who come from a military background for the event.

Hill, 30, entered “TUF 5″ with a state high school wrestling title and just one professional MMA bout — but a ton of raw talent. Hill, a towering 6-foot-4 lightweight who was eliminated by Nate Diaz in the semifinals of “TUF,” made his official UFC debut in January at UFC Fight Night 12 and defeated Joe Veres via second-round TKO. However, in his most recent fight — at UFC 86 in July — Hill suffered a second-round submission loss (via rear-naked choke) to Justin Buchholz.

Hartt, meanwhile, began his professional career with a 5-0 record while fighting primarily for the Massachusetts-based for Full Force Productions. The Marcus Davis- and Mark DellaGrotte-trained fighter made his octagon debut in July at the organization’s “UFC: Silva vs. Irvin” event, where the 29-year-old Hartt suffered a first-round submission loss (via rear-naked choke) to fellow newcomer Shannon Gugerty.

For the latest on the Dec. 10 fight, which would likely be titled UFC Fight Night 16, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
